The following resources will help students maintain and continue to expand their Spanish skills during the summer. Some of the contents might go beyond our Spanish curriculum, but it will not hurt to let your child explore and learn about what most interests them. Practicing as often as possible for about 10 to 15 minutes can help reinforce what they have already learned at school.
Have a wonderful summer! - ¡Feliz verano!
